Celebrating its 5th year, the annual Oyster Festival is back to satisfy those salty seafood hankerings. Sean Connolly and the team at The Morrison invite you to get out of your shell and dive into an array of shucking good fun, food and drinks – serving up hundreds of the slippery suckers every day throughout the month of August.

Oyster Festival shell-ebrates fresh oysters sourced from over 50 regions of Australia, from farm to table with Sean Connolly’s favourite oyster dishes on the menu (including a Regional Roulette of fresh oysters with matching vinegar dressings, and Beer Battered Oysters with mushy peas and bits) it would be shucking crazy not to try these delectable treats.

Nothing beats a whole month of mollusc madness with our $1 Oyster Hour running every night from 6-7pm. A place for oyster novices and aficionados alike to come together and enjoy the best produce the sea has to offer!

Bottoms Up!

A dash of seduction – immerse yourself in the age old love-affair between oysters and champagne and treat yo’self to a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck. Lively and light, with delicate bubbles flavoured with fresh pear, apple and subtle citrus notes making it our drop of choice – c’est l’amour vrai! as the French would say… $99 a bottle.

For those who’ve already earned their sea-legs, a nip of smoky Talisker whisky or a Red Snapper cocktail with a smoked oyster should fit the bill. And for the ultimate swashbuckler, a Verdita oyster shooter laced with Don Julio tequila, flavoured with a herbaceous concoction of pineapple, jalapeno and mint.
